Oral Suspension
Introduction
Zeo-CV Oral Suspension is an antibiotic designed to combat bacterial infections in various parts of the body such as the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is particularly effective against bacteria that have developed resistance to other antibiotics, making it a valuable treatment for resistant tuberculosis as well. While effective, it is crucial to complete the entire course of the medication to prevent the bacteria from multiplying again or becoming resistant. Side effects may include a bitter taste, and in rare cases, an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties, which should be reported to a doctor immediately.
Directions for Use
Administer Zeo-CV Oral Suspension as prescribed by the doctor. Ensure the child completes the entire course of antibiotics. Do not use it to treat viral infections like the common cold or flu.
How it works
Zeo-CV Oral Suspension contains two active agents: amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin prevents the formation of the bacterial cell wall, essential for bacterial survival. Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by resistant bacteria, making the combination effective against various infections.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or become resistant. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after taking Zeo-CV Oral Suspension. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Zeo-CV Oral Suspension unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not share your child’s medicine with anyone else. Do not use Zeo-CV Oral Suspension to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. It cannot be said whether the same medicine will work on future infections. Check the expiry date before giving Zeo-CV Oral Suspension to your child. Immediately discard all expired medicines. Stop Zeo-CV Oral Suspension immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.
